15 Truth is lacking,
    and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
    that there was no justice.
16 (A)He saw that there was no man,
    and wondered that there was no one to intercede;
then his own arm brought him salvation,
    and his righteousness upheld him.
17 (B)He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
    and a helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
    and wrapped himself in (C)zeal as a cloak.
18 (D)According to their deeds, so will he repay,
    wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;
    (E)to the coastlands he will render repayment.
19 (F)So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west,
    and his glory from the rising of the sun;
(G)for he will come like a rushing stream,[b]
    which the wind of the Lord drives.
